from everything I've read on here, you are an incredible person, Patty, so please don't think that unkempt (for now while they're growing back in) eyebrows are going to change your image at all... (and that's me speaking as someone who's never even met you - I can only imagine how much stronger those in your close circle feel.)
+1 to threading, to sharpening your tweezers with a nail file, and to working on them after a shower.
as for shape, use an eye pencil (or, heck, even lip liner!
) to draw the shape you want, pluck outside the line, then clean it off with make-up remover... a good site for knowing what shape is
here.(from the site: The perfect eyebrow starts above the inside corner of your eye (over the tear duct), and ends at the outside corner, above your eyelashes. Eyebrows should have an arch: in nature, it’s rarely where it should be, which is a frustrating commentary on standards of beauty. Ideally, the arch happens over the iris, the colored part of your eye. It should be gentle, so if you’re planning to reshape your arch, take it very, very slowly. Do a hair or two a day, and err on the side of caution. Hasty plucking can give you a surprised look that lasts for weeks.)
bottom line, though? you are loved, and quite frankly, I'm just glad you're feeling well enough to notice your eyebrows and complain about them...
